There isn't really a feature like that, but an alternative you might
want to consider is to have staging and production in different branches.
You can then check out each branch separately on the server. When you
commit to the staging branch on your development machine, you can then
update both working copies without problems -- the production branch
didn't get committed to so it won't change, and the staging branch did
so the staging WC will update.
Once you're happy with the final results, you can switch your local
development WC to the production branch, merge the staging branch into
it, then commit that and update the production server's WC.
(Of course, this just moves the problem: now you need to make sure that
you're committing to the staging branch rather than the production
branch at all times except when you're doing a merge.)
You could even set up scripts to do the updates automatically, either
with a commit hook or just periodically trying to update.
(Although also note that having development resources like SVN servers
accessible from production servers can be a security hazard.)
